Ps 147 2 The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel.
3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Saints are saved into a new kingdom. Our moral struggle is no longer defined by how we succeed or fail. We are regarded by God as significant recipients of all the excellent things that are part of His newcreated kingdom. In the Christian experience we are becoming like we are made perfect. We are imaged as beloved brothers that are the creative production of Gods creative work. In established kingdom, He must provide all that we obtain by grace. In this Psalm Gods re-creative work that was naturally given to man as a extraordinary gift is satisfactorily accomplished by God alone.  As God provides the resources for the creation that are not free moral agents, so He must achieve all the work for His, brothers, oiurselves. The principle in Gods kingdom is under a distinctive mode of success than the wicked. In Gods kingdom we must employ the means He has provided as our security and success. What obtain the exclusive means by which we can enjoy a life of Godliness? His sacred word and Spirit. The reason that we cannot be confident about our responsibility in obeying God is we live in a kingdom that we could not enter by our goodness. We were borne into this kingdom by renewal. We died and were improved to life. Presently we stand faithful with a tendency to go back to law where we can offer something so that we are accepted. That temptation is like kryptonite to super man. We must studiously avoid desiring that works salvation in the wicked curse. 6 The LORD sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground. " The Psalmist is adequately describing the authoritative pronouncement of the curse as appropriate action in naturally causing a falling star to descend to the created earth. It is effortless for us to fight in this battle because God has delivered the gift of protecting ourselves against any violence. You see the wicked is unable to avoid reflecting the self-destructive opposition and enjoy finding real security against any violence. But the saints are properly taught by the natural desire to be sufficiently protected. The exclusive way that we can be instructed this distinction is by the pronouncement of the blessing and cursing.
